How You Can Reduce the Cost of ERP and CRM

TCOnow! for ERP and CRM is a software tool that will enable you to pinpoint the hardware, operating system, and database platform decisions that have the most impact on the final cost of an ERP or CRM project. By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison of either migrating an existing SAP, Peoplesoft, or Siebel system to a new hardware or software platform or purchasing a brand new suite of ERP and CRM applications. You can evaluate how ERP and CRM costs change if you run your ERP/CRM databse using IBM DB2 UDB, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server and whether servers running Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, or Microsoft Windows Deliver the lowest TCO.

TCOnow! condenses a typical multi-month ERP and CRM planning and sizing project into a matter of hours. This accelerated analysis is made possible because the software is packed with data on ERP and CRM workloads, server performance, database pricing, and operating system downtime. If you need to determine or justify a platform choice for running SAP, Peoplesoft, or Siebel, then this is the product for you!

Interview Process:		You are able to choose from 5 server consolidation strategies, including capacity on demand and from 1 of 17 industry groups (including built-in default costs for employee salaries, benefits, depreciation method and schedule, cost of capital, etc).

Results:		The result is an automatically configured ERP/CRM deployment, complete with financial and technical specifications. Everything you need to present to your CEO, CFO, and deployment team is included in the business case.

A Step Further:		Once you have your analysis, the software enables you to go back in to change any underlying assumptions and see how that changes your Total Cost of Ownership. You can change your database vendor, growth assumptions, financial assumptions, partition or clustering assumptions, and industry warrant and support terms...just to name a few.
